Today I will talk about the MC Edit program, with which you can create your own maps and mount downloaded objects! I will start from the very beginning so that you do not have any difficulties when working with the program!
So what exactly is MC Edit? Mcedit is an open source world editor for any version of Minecraft. Mcedit was first created to allow players to create their own Minecraft maps and make changes to existing worlds! MC Edit allows you to work with tools for laying blocks in various forms, integrated with the Minecraft server to create a landscape! There is support for multiplayer worlds and editors for certain blocks! You can download the program from the official site!
Let's get to work!
So, after you have downloaded MC Edit from the link above, installed it on your computer, run the program from the shortcut on your desktop - mcedit.exe, we have the following window:
Click "Open a Level..." And select the level.dat file in your Minecraft client's save folder!
Your Minecraft map opens before us, which we have to edit!
Let's analyze the controls: The movement is carried out with the W A S D buttons, as in the usual lane! The camera is rotated by pressing the RMB, the selection of the region - LMB!
On the right - we have a window for working with a selected region, where we can: remove the selection, delete the selected blocks, copy this region, paste it to another place and export the scheme to a computer!
The second icon on the hotbar allows you to create mountains from different materials, in this case I have a stone. The choice of material is made on the panel on the left!
Next comes cloning - that is, the transfer of the selected region to another place, which I talked about earlier!
We will skip the next button and move on to import! This button allows you to import ready-made schemes or your own blanks!
Well, the last buttons allow you to transfer the player's spawn!
In the upper left corner, click on the menu - MCEdit
There we press "save" and the world will start to be generated! After successful completion, press Alt + F4 to exit!
Now we go into the game and choose our world!
That, in fact, is all! I think you have mastered the basics of working with this program and I helped you at least a little!
Happy card making, dear readers!

To work with the MC editor, you need the program:
We present you one of the most useful programs for Minecraft. MCEdit is not only a map editor, but also a necessary thing for all those who like to experiment. What functions are there in this program? The simplest is the creation of cubes and balls of any size from absolutely any blocks that can be placed anywhere. MCEdit has delete and replace functions. They allow you to quickly clear the area for buildings and replace all the blocks of earth in the selected square, for example, with blocks of stone. With the help of special filters, you can change the location of biomes. Do you want to have snow near your house, and rain in the backyard, and in the basement in general to spawn Gasts and Swanozombies? Then you definitely need to use filters and this is not all the possibilities. You can clone buildings, move them to the right places, change spawns, change the location of players, change the contents of chests and much more!
On our site you can download MCEdit for Minecraft versions: 1.5.2, 1.6.4, 1.7.2, 1.7.10, 1.8, 1.8.1 and others. The video review will help you understand how to use the program. It should answer all your questions.

MCEdit is a save map editor for Minecraft that allows you to change almost any element of the game environment beyond recognition. The program makes it possible to significantly speed up the construction of game worlds, and avoid the need to extract resources. Yes, this is a kind of "cheat" with which you can import previously saved maps in SCHEMATIC format, then work with them in a 3D editor and export them back to the game client.
Functional
MCEdit has tools for working with the landscape, changing the color of blocks, specifying spawn points for various mobs, and even changing their characteristics. It is also possible to choose the location and contents of the chests. The editor can work not only with "standard" blocks and mobs, but also with those that have been added to the game through various modifications.
Before making changes, the user can select a specific block or an area of blocks. Naturally, they are allowed to be freely copied, rotated and deleted. If desired, you can even transfer the selected design to another card, after saving it to the computer's memory. For "coloring" blocks, several dozen different types of brushes are provided.
As you can see, the program offers quite rich functionality. Although initially it was conceived solely as a tool for transferring created maps from older versions of the Minecraft client to later ones.
Interface and Usage
The graphical shell of MCEdit is maximally stylized for the Minecraft game itself. Here you will find a convenient shortcut menu located at the bottom of the screen, as well as "characteristic" visualizations and style controls. There is also an auxiliary menu from which you can change the size of the work area, the field of view and the location of the camera. The WASD keys are responsible for moving around the created world, and the mouse is responsible for turning around its axis. In general, with regard to navigation, in this regard, the program is extremely convenient.
Key Features
- creating large-scale projects from scratch, as well as importing maps in SCHEMATIC format;
- convenient navigation and movement within the workspace;
- changing the characteristics and respawn points of mods;
- editing chests;
- transferring models from one map to another;
- thoughtful block selection tools;
- support for any version of the Minecraft client.
Do you want to build something big and beautiful, but it takes a very long time to build by hand? There is a way out - the program MCEdit, which will greatly simplify the construction and save your time.
Installation
In order to work with the program, it must be copied to a computer. You can do this in two ways:
- The first is to download the setup file and run it. After that, you need to select the installation location of the program and wait about a minute. That is, this usual setup;
- The second way is to download the archive and unpack it to the right place. I like this method better, because you have to mess around less, and when you uninstall the program, you don’t have to remove shortcuts and clean registry entries. That is, this is the installation of the portable version.
First start
So let's start. A black box with yellow captions will appear.
We need the inscription "Open a level ..." with its help, we will open the one we need. How to do it? Click on the inscription, and find the folder with minecraft (% appdata% / .minecraft /). After that, go to the saves folder, and then to the folder with the map. The level.dat file will be there and we open it. If the file is not corrupted, the map will appear. Screenshot example:
Basic tools
- After loading the map, 9 squares with icons will appear at the bottom of the window. These are the tools. The first one (on the left) is selection. It allows you to select the required area of the map. To do this, move the cursor to the desired cube, and click on the left mouse button. Then, holding down the right mouse button to rotate, and using the W, A, S or D buttons, you need to move to another area and click on another cube with the left mouse button. Thus, a zone in the form of a parallelogram will be selected;
- The next tool is brush. With it, you can install, remove or replace cubes. After selecting it, a window for selecting options will appear on the left. There you can choose the shape of the brush - to do this, click on the yellow inscription to the right of the brush inscription. You can also change the size of the brush, for this you need to enter the numbers you need to the right of the letters L, W, H;
- Another useful tool is copying. To use it, you must first select the area, and then double-click on copy. A copy of the selected area will appear, but in a green tint. In the window on the left, you can rotate the object in three planes, as well as reflect horizontally or vertically. After that, moving the mouse, select the place where you want to put the object, and press the left mouse button. You can then move the object by entering your values in the shapes to the left of the nudge label. Then you need to confirm copying by clicking on the yellow inscription Clone;
- There is also a tool FILL. It allows you to change the cubes in the selected area. To use it, you need to select an area, and click on the FILL button. Then it is necessary in the window that appeared in the center, select the required cube and click on OK, and then on FILL in the window on the left. Thus, the entire selected area will be replaced by the selected cubes;
- There is a Filter tool, but we will not need it, as it is intended for the minecraft classic version;
- The button labeled Import allows you to import a scene in schematic format, which is created by another program, which will be discussed in another article. For example, you can create a ring, or a bridge, and then insert it into the game;
- The following 2 tools and images of the player's head allow you to move both the player himself and the spawn point where he will appear after death;
- Well, finally, the last tool is chunk control . It will also not be needed in construction;
- The only option I use is Relight , which allows you to recalculate lighting in a chunk.
Personal opinion
In my opinion, the program is very useful. It allows you to save a lot of time, especially when you need to make large walls or put a lot of the same objects. But the program has 2 big minuses. A snapshot of minecraft has recently been released, with a new anvil map format. And this program does not support it. In addition, in this picture, the maximum height of the world has become 256 instead of 128, but MCEdit can only build up to 128. I hope the developers will fix this soon.
